Song Jiashu's life is full of legends. What kind of story does he have? In 1875, Song Jiashu learned that an uncle who was doing business in the United States had returned from the United States to recruit workers, so the 12-year-old Song Jiashu begged his parents to let him go abroad with his uncle to earn a living. At that time, the Panama Canal had not yet been opened, and Song Jiashu's ship had to bypass the Strait of Magellan at the southern tip of South America from China to the eastern United States. Very depressed is that when the ship was about to enter the Strait of Magellan, a huge piece of ice drifting from the South Pole crashed into the rudder, and in an instant the ship lost control, drifted south, and was forced to run aground on an island in the Antarctic Circle for maintenance, and it was precisely because of this that Song Jiashu followed the adults to the island of Shanghai, witnessed the beautiful scenery of the Antarctic, and after the ship was repaired, they went to the United States.
Song Jiashu gradually became a "Song family" influencing people at home and abroad in the United States. In 1887, Song Jiashu married the famous lady Ni Guizhen, and the Song couple raised a total of six children. Their three daughters are Song Xialing, Song Qingling, and Song Meiling, and the three sons are Song Ziwen, Song Ziliang, and Song Zi'an, and the three sisters of the Song clan have a special position in the modern and modern history of China.
The childhood and adolescence of the three Sisters of the Song Clan were precisely the period when the Chinese people rose up against feudalism and imperialism, and it was also the period when feudalism shrouded the land of China. Following Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolution, Song Jiashu first opened up a paradise without feudalism in his family, so that his three daughters had the privilege of growing up healthily in a democratic, equal and advanced living environment.
The eldest sister, Song Qiling, was born in Shanghai on July 15, 1889. In 1914, he married Kong Xiangxi in Japan. He died on October 19, 1973 in New York, United States.

Before his death, Song Qingling was awarded the Honorary Chairman of the State. Her husband, Sun Yat-sen, was the provisional president of the Republic of China. The third sister, Song Meiling, was born in Shanghai on March 5, 1897, and married Chiang Kai-shek in 1927. He died on October 24, 2003 in New York, USA.
